Harriet Green

Green was promoted from general manager for IBM Watson Internet of Things to CEO of IBM’s Asia-Pacific region in January of 2018. Already, she's transformed her share of the business through ambitious restructuring; she's brought technical and business consulting teams under one umbrella called IBM Services and reshuffled units to give Singapore more focused and tailored service. In 2018, the Asia-Pacific region brought in revenues of $17.1 billion, just over 21% of the entire company’s revenues last year, the same portion as the year before. Green is also making a point to increase diversity. Over 40% of her team is female, which is among the highest percentages across IBM's various regions.
